Random Thought

A disconcerting thought popped into my head yesterday as I was watching another in the endless stream of DraftKings commercials during NFL Games: 

How long before we see some idiot try to Gillooly a player?

I haven't actually dug into DraftKings and whether it lives up to the hype as far as cash prizes, and I have no intention to at this point. It does seem to have taken the concept of fantasy sports to another level where the stakes can be much higher than even some of the more typical yet expensive leagues. And where stakes get high, people can be tempted to do foolish things.

I suppose the incentive already exists to some extent with legal and illegal gambling, and that sort of thing isn't a problem as far as I know. Then again, we are talking about individual player performance and not whether a team beats the spread. Might somebody find it worthwhile to ding Darren McFadden to keep him from taking a TD away from Joseph Randle? You wouldn't think so, of course, but stranger fixes have been alleged over the years.

Just wondering.
